Muscle noise is a big problem with our EKG machines at work. Even the slightest movement will overwhelm the waveform being studied; however, EKGs are done during stress tests which involve quite a bit of vigorous exercise. Muscle noise has a different waveform, but it's basically the same thing being measured.

How is it filtered without disrupting the useful information about the heart?
